Wiki says they're married. I don't know where that's mentioned however.

How could we forget Takaku-ya Little Girl's Dance?

Mokou and Kaguya are married

This would be good for you.

But...but kissing someone twice means they have to get engaged!

>when a character's talking aloud to themselves when they're alone

See "soliloquy" -- this narrative technique is not idiosyncratic to VNs.

>do you understand (or at least *think* you understand) how your own mind works?

Personally, it depends on what subject I'm contemplating. If the subject is mundane or mechanical, such as "going to Pizza Hut to get lunch" or driving to school, I don't form a stream of consciousness to get the chore done; I just do it like you said. If, however, I'm engaged in something that requires a bit more thought and planning, then I tend to create an internal pseudo-narrative to help me think it through.

For example, when I'm brainstorming what to write in an essay, I usually pretend that I'm either on a talk show or giving a lecture to a class of students about the topic of my paper-- internally, of course, it's not like you hear me rambling incessantly at any given moment like a transient waiting at a bus stop. The mock lecture serves two purposes: first it allows me to collect what ideas I have and sort them out into a coherent narrative and secondly, it allows me to proof-read my central argument and determine if the argument is compelling or not before I type out a single word. Furthermore, when I'm actually typing out the essay, I'm usually dictating in my head what I'm going to type two to three words in advance of what I see on the computer screen. I suppose I've just gotten into that narrative habit because of the gross amount of reading and writing I've been forced to do in college and so one could say it was a skill I developed out of necessity-- without it, I would not have the attention span to read most novels (VNs included) nor would I have the facilities to write an academic paper since one's ability to write complex sentences correlates directly with one's ability to maintain a coherent stream of consciousness.

Why not the MOOOOOOOOOOOON?
